London Knights 2024-25 Season Thread, Part V

[BobHockey]

Way too much obstruction/interference allowed in hockey today to try and give less skilled teams a chance. Awful games like tonight are the result. League’s forget that their sport is entrainment and in this era many hockey games are not. Kudos to Peterborough for taking advantage but games like this are painful to watch.

Agree, both the CHL and NHL levels. For awhile, the leagues had gotten away from ignoring the obstruction and interference but it has crept into the game in the past few years. I want to see fast, skilled players playing rough and tough but without the slower players holding, hooking etc. The game is great when played tough at a high speed. Not sure why this has devolved in this manner

This team needs to look at that Woolley goal and recognize that not every goal needs to be a work of art…Woolley skates down the wing and rips a hard shot and is rewarded. They are trying to do way to much and the amount of prime scoring chances that are passed up to try and make a high difficulty pass is frustrating. Simplify the game and get more shots to the net. We are struggling to score right now and need to simplify.

I have Sweet Georgia Brown queued up on my phone and play it when I see the Knights go into their Harlem Globetrotters routine...my seat mates just roll their eyes.

London goes 13-7 in their final 20, and Windsor goes 17-2 in their final 19 games.
London, Windsor tied with 105 points. (No point for OT/SO loss considered.)

What's the likelihood?

0. Londons not losing 7 times in the remaining 20 games. Maybe 3-4 would be my guess
